The Undying Alchemist

A LitRPG Adventure (The Undying Immortal System, Book 1)

De: Greg Tolley

Narrado por: Daniel Wisniewski

A weak soul must not cultivate. Madness consumes the weak of mind. Eternal servitude awaits the weak of heart.

Su Fang arrives in a realm of cultivation unprepared—no skills, no knowledge, and no backing. Like everyone else in this new world, he is given a blessing from the Heavenly Dao to help him success, but Su Fang's blessing isn’t power over the elements or mastery of profound arts. No, it takes a brutal lesson to teach him that he’s been ‘blessed’ with repetition.

Every time he dies, he returns to the moment of his arrival. The young cultivator uses each reset to grind skills, refine his inner essence, and empower his very soul, using only the memories of countless failures. Each death is another lesson, each life another chance. Yet the world is ruthless, and time alone won’t be enough for Su Fang to make his mark; especially when every reset washes away not only his mistakes, but his triumphs.

In a land where even the strong perish, his fate is clear: he’s an immortal destined to die. Over and over.

Slow roll

Slow roll but I the writing is good and I’m optimistic for the series. Definitely for fans of time loop skill grinding type series.

Great first book

The writing is phenomenal. I love the story and am a little disappointed book 2 isn’t out yet.

Good but not for me

Made it as far as I could, had 4 hours left and regretted my purchase. Honestly I regretted it much earlier but was waiting for the MC to stop being a pushover and everyone's favorite punching bag but it never happened.

Presently surprised & worth the Experience !

I’ve had mixed experiences with Cultivation series, Ans I wasn't fully sure what to expect but about half thought I found myself checking the book timer and thinking I hope this isn't ending soon.

I don't know if it was planned or if the Author just got feedback as he write the web-version of the book but the way the MC grows and matures (writing improves) was fun to experience.

I definitely think there is room for improvement but overall a solid release & I'm looking forward to continuing the journey.

Conflict without battle

I was hesitant to read this time loop because it seemed like nothing he did was permanent unlike other time loops where the MC retains skills or changes to their body. While the description says otherwise the MC does learn how to make a few things permanent and grow through the loops. So it's not endless meaningless lack of progression.

Yes the MC is a bit spineless through the book due to mental influences but he struggles against them and might grow a spine in future books based on trajectory.

As for other reviews on no fights, mostly true. There is no martial cultivation for this MC but he does still have conflict. Many hardships, brutal deaths and overcoming strife.

This isn't some slice of life with no real hardship except a rough day. This is a story of constant growth through adversity both in skill and character.

A final note that the description doesnt really cover, The system isnt litrpg stat system. It's more a system store where he can buy things for credits he earns. Its a major point and quite fun. Think that needs to be pointed out. It isnt a OP thing though due to the prices. Just a good advantage.

Cant wait for book two, it got really good at the end with a solid foundation for book 2.
